1st time main-lining journal......

Thanks for the time J.

I just checked and my bluelabs pen may be whacked too. It failed
to calibrate. ...but it did seem to get the standard fluid's pH correct.

Onward and upward,

JD

Rehydrate in tap water for 24 hours.

If that doesn't work try some KCI solution.


Then try to cal.

Also replace batteries and double check.



Have you been keeping the sponge in the cap saturated with water or KCI to keep the probe from drying?

reminds me I need to calibrate mine ? that's what I do with mine ,rinse under tap ,few drops in sponge keep it wet

 

[budolskie]

I rinse mine under tap now and blast the tap in lid every time to keep that damp with the bit sponge in

 

[jondamon]

12 pics here for you budolskie.

After my second feed at EC1.8 my runoff tested 2.0. So tonights feeding was brought down to 1.6 going in. All mainlines runoff was 1.6. So I'll feed again at 1.6 next time and judge the runoff again.


Enjoy.

I was storing it in the pH 4.0 solution, as per the directions...
...but it was recommended here to store in plain water.

In any case, it is possible that it dried out for lack of use over
the last few months. The bulb has a orange cast to it. (! :0)

I will try what you recommend.

Thank you again for taking the time.

I contacted BLUELAB when I purchased mine and they recommended NOT using buffer4 as it corrodes the probe.

It maybe fucked.

BUT you may want to contact them yourself and explain you followed the directions in the book.


Maybe they will replace it.



J

 

[Javadog]

Wow....well, I am certain that I did not make this step up.

It is the more corrosive of the fluids, then again, isn't it?

<T-101>I'll be back</T-101>

[Javadog]

OK, it is not me, at least. :0)



I will see if I can get it clean.

After my emails with BLUELAB as I too had the same instruction booklet they have or are contacting the printers to remove that info and just say plain tap or KCI.

In the last few weeks the plants demands for light actually reduce.


The SL feature is to make sure after 2 crops that your lamp is still kicking nearly 100% efficiency.

As when using your lamp for x number of hours they begin to degrade and loose output. This is where the SL feature comes in handy.

IMO you shouldn't over power a bulb until its about 4-6minths old. Then turn it on to get one more grow with that lamp before switching out the lamp.

8 new pics before I water.

I might get a couple of plants out during watering and take some better pics in more natural light.

Hey buds.

Possibly over use of calmag.

Or nutrient splash.


Hard to tell properly.


I would start by easing of the calmag for a bit.
